As long as they were still there it was vital to never give any information, especially nothing about someone else, be it friend or stranger. Good advice later on, too.

Instructions to school bus drivers for interactions with law enforcement approaching buses.
Some of the relevant portions of the instructions say -
Ask to provide I.D. and collect full name, department/agency, badge number (Handwritten note "Take photo of badge")
Ask for reason for the inquire (Handwritten note "Ask student name")
Explain you need to report all information to the transportation director.
While the director is on the way, continue to keep law enforcement off the bus, do not allow any law enforcement interaction with students on the bus, and do not give out any student rider information to law enforcement.
Large handwritten note at the top says "Give no info - Keep person off Bus"
